Most people believe that they are safe inside their own homes. This story just proves, though, that even that is rarely true. Two boys were playing rough in their parents room when they made a startling discovery. This could chill any homeowner down to their very core.The house was built in the early 2000s. There was nothing to suggest there was anything weird about it.

Except when the new owners’ two songs were horsing around and dislodged a bookshelf…

That movable bookshelf revealed a secret staircase.

The tall, spiral staircase seemed to lead downward directly into a wall.

But halfway down, there was a crawlspace.

Inside, the two boys found the most terrifying thing: evidence that someone was squatting. In their own walls.

They also had a key that unlocked only God knows what.

And of course, they also found creepy dolls hidden in the room.

The police are still looking for the individual that was living in their walls. Since there was little food, it seemed that he came and went as he or she pleased. There was a small pile of clothes around the bedding. The candy seen strewn about the room was actually one of the boy’s, but whoever was living in the wall crept out at night to steal some for himself.
